00:00It is possible that the electricity bill will go down this October for the residents of Luzon and Mindanao.
00:05According to the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines,
00:08the electricity bill for the ancillary service will go down this month.
00:13It is part of the transmission charge, which is 10% of the electricity bill.
00:19In Luzon, it is expected to reduce the transmission charge by Php 9 per kWh,
00:25while Php 2 per kWh in Mindanao.
00:28But in Visayas, I can see an increase in the transmission charge of Php 29 per kWh.
00:37According to the NGCT, it is a pass-through charge and it will not go to them.
00:44Let's update on the arrest of the alleged big boss of Lucky South 99 Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga.
00:51We will talk to the Executive Director, Gilbert Cruz.
00:54Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
00:57Good morning, Ratfi and to the viewers and listeners of our program. Good morning to all of you.
01:03When Liu Dong was arrested, you arrested the wrong guy.
01:07How did you find out that he is the leader of Lucky South 99 Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga?
01:13We have many witnesses who say that he is really...
01:19Liu Dong is just his alias.
01:22What we know is that he used a passport and their binoculars, the picture of that passport, the Chinese passport.
01:32But in his real passport, we know that he is Lin Zun Han.
01:37Lin Zun Han was born on July 4, 1991.
01:43That's his Chinese passport.
01:45He also uses many aliases like Boss Boga, he is also known as How How, he is also known as Pahaw.
01:57He uses many aliases.
02:00So obviously, he will say that he was not arrested and that the person we arrested is wrong.
02:09If you notice here, Ratfi, he is surrounded by a Filipino, and three of them were arrested with guns, serving as his bodyguards.
02:21The rest, two of them are drivers.
02:24He is also with Chinese nationals.
02:30We arrested 12 of them, but most of them have no documents.
02:36It's funny because we were also surprised that he is ready for what he does every day.
02:47Because this is a bulletproof car, Ratfi.
02:50His bulletproof cars, the vehicles that he uses are an Escalade, which is a very expensive vehicle, and you made it bulletproof.
03:00In your intelligence report, do you have a plan for him to leave the country?
03:07When he left, we were not able to monitor him, but we saw him jumping to different places to hide.
03:18We didn't catch him when we raided the PORAC Pogo Hub.
03:24We didn't catch him.
03:26We worked on him since then because we wanted to catch the boss of these Pogos.
03:33Is it established if Liu Dong and the other 20 were involved in the illegal Pogo operation in Pambantarlac?
03:43We are sure that his name really appears in the PORAC Pogo Hub.
03:51We also know that the PORAC Pogo Hub is connected to the Banban Pogo Hub.
04:01Okay.
04:02Is there a request from the camera to send him to the Pogo hearing?
04:07Did you receive anything?
04:08No. We received this last night and we were just processing this this morning.
04:14We are with the AFP team in this work.
04:20We are with them during the eight months of extensive surveillance.
04:24We are with the AFP team.
04:26Of course, we are also with the Bureau of Immigration because this is an implementation of a mission order signed by Commissioner Joel Viado.
04:38How can the arrest of Liu Dong help to find the other members of the Lucky South 99 Pogo as well as the other illegal Pogos?
04:48We will see if he has a good...
04:57Yousef?
04:59...and maybe we will still look at the documents to get information.
05:06We will look at the documents to examine. Maybe we can get more information from those documents.
05:12Okay. Your audio is just a bit damaged.
05:14But just for the last question, maybe.
05:16Are you still looking for other big fish, let's say, regarding the illegal Pogo operation in the country?
05:21There are still many.
05:24There are still many.
05:26We are just continuously monitoring and of course, coordination with other government agencies.
05:35Okay. Thank you very much Director Yousef Gilbert-Cruz.
